Yes, it is counter intuitive and surprised me too which is why I made this post. I'm 53, 220 lbs, and my knees have issues from lumping furniture as a mover for almost 17 years. I do LTL freight now which is a lot less demanding, but the damage is done, and because my commute is so challenging, I was seriously considering cutting my bike commuting.
I'm not ashamed to admit I need a little extra help, its just a shame some feel the need to rub it in my face, especially since rodies still blow by me.
